Electronic Curtain Twitcher

A person who has nothing better to do other than spy on their fellow Social Media friends for signs of gossip.
Their duties include:
1. Scour other people's social media profiles for news they can use for their own joviality.
2. Using partners/friends account so they can't be traced or twitched at themselves.
3. Check out how sexy members of the opposite sex are without the person knowing.

I'm sure so and so is an electronic curtain twitcher as they seem to know so much about me and we're not even friends.

The Shower Curtain Swat

This is a phrase that best describes the act of "No matter how old you get or who's bathroom you're in, if you are sitting on a toilet- and the shower is in arms reach from you...you will swat it just to make sure there is/are no one or no thing lurking behind there." Sometimes even when the curtain is see through.

No matter who's house I'm at, you will always hear me doing the shower curtain swat.

Picking out curtains

A point in a relationship when you're so close with the person you're dating that moving in together is all but certain. You literally begin picking out curtains for your future apartment together.

Jake: What happened with you and Ruth? I heard you two broke up.
Matt: I have no idea...we were picking out curtains and everything...

iron curtain

The Iron Curtain is a term used in the West to refer to the boundary line which divided Europe into two separate areas of political influence from the end of World War II until the end of the Cold War. During this period, Eastern Europe was under the political control and/or influence of the Soviet Union, while Western Europe enjoyed political freedom (see Free World). The term comes from a long speech by Winston Churchill on March 5, 1946 in Fulton, Missouri:



The phrase had been used a year earlier, in an article on "The Year 2000" by Joseph Goebbels:

"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow."

--Churchill


"If the German people lay down their weapons, the Soviets, according to the agreement between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, would occupy all of East and Southeast Europe along with the greater part of the Reich. An iron curtain would fall over this enormous territory controlled by the Soviet Union, behind which nations would be slaughtered."

---Goebbels
